Isn't that in the vicinity of the other HT trooper prices?

Guess I have not exactly gotten use to HT prices yet... Started following them only after they do Star Wars...

I don't see the differences in the helmet. Apart from lighting...

Is the sculpt different? I don't think so.

Looking great. My wallet is relieved I'll settle for the standard Stormie.

The Stormtrooper is Hero and the Sandtrooper is Stunt. From the pic above you should be able to see the brow and frown (mouth) differences. and there are a few other differences in armor and helmet too.


This link below might help you understand better the differences between Stormtroopers and Sandtroopes:

Who was it said that Hot Toys wouldn't step on Sideshow's toes?
They are going to re-do everything. It's at the point now that buying a Sideshow Star Wars figure is an expensive temperory fix until HT do theirs.
Honestly I was gonna pick up R5 & Luke pilot, but not now.

Damn you, Rory, can't believe you're still going on about this!

SSC's Deluxe Sandtrooper is 4 years old and this is a significant upgrade. They're all long sold out, so this is "stepping on their toes" how? By giving Sideshow a nice cut on distribution for the thousands they'll sell direct and via distribution in NA? I'm sure SSC is crying all the way to the bank!

As for R5 and X-Wing Luke, I could see HT doing Luke but R5... I'll buy SSC's on that b/c I'm not 100% sure R5 will get on HT's radar. If it does, eh. It's a $120.00 figure (with coupon!) that will pay for itself by having it on display for a couple years.

That said, the Sandtroopers do look amazing. Gonna skip them as I prefer the Storm/Spacetroopers, but they are impressive. Hope Luke and Leia are right around the corner!
